Living in the Midst of Mess

I Corinthians 3:6

Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in your midst?

I am in the midst of some stuff I can't control but I am learning how I respond can be what I am called to do.

First of all my husband is really depressed and stressed out with his job.  I try to listen but then I think of all the times I hated what I did and how I just stressed out if I would have a job the next week or day.  But I am still here.

Then I think of my church and all the people who frustrate me or I don't understand what they do and why they do it.

I think about my former friends and how I should of left them eons ago. 

I  think of my closed doors and shelves I am put upon.

I consider whether it is more important to be a pacer or just enjoy the sport I once used to work so hard at.

But I am blessed.  Essentially if I stay at my current job I like what I do and having an uninvolved boss is better that micromangages that leaves you alone because she has too many fires to put out.  I can handle that

The ministries at church.  I can't control a male chovanist and a diva for whatever reason won't let me do worship team.  I leave it.  I enjoy the freedom of only doing one ministry and doing it well.

The things I have walked away from, the pacing, the writing, and the youth group.  Things in my life that needed to be pruned.
